When you start up, are you saying that the Airport icon in the upper right corner (the fan) is greyed out? Also, when you click this greyed out Airport icon, can you see your connection, click it and then connect after entering your password? If can do the above, then you simply need to...

Is he using the original 802.11b Airport card or the newer Airport Extreme 802.11g card? If he is using the original Airport card, it can only do 802.11b and if the WRT54G router is set to only allow 802.11g (54Mbps) wireless connections, then his PowerMac won't be allowed on the network. Go...

You can buy the original 802.11b Airport cards on ebay, but they are going for more than $100 there since they are in such high demand and are no longer manufactured. Too bad you don't have an older desktop Mac. I just bought the Buffalo WLI2-PCI-G54 802.11g wireless card for my Blue and...

Take a look at OpenVPN at http://openvpn.net for a possible solution. By the way, you don't need to set up a VPN to get at your files. Of course, it depends what you mean by this, but if you just want to connect and copy files to your iBook while away from home, you can just SSH in to your Mac...

I'm assuming you have Oracle 9i installed on your computer or on a computer on your home network. You need to verify that the database has been started and that the Listener is running. You need to know the SID of the database as well as the service name tied to the SID so you can connect to...

It's a bit of a grey area, but as long as you own the original games on cartridge, you can download them and play them.

Even if you find some way to work around the fact that it won't run while closed, I wouldn't recommend running it while closed. No matter what anyone tells you, laptops will generally overheat after a long time when run while closed. The Dell laptops at my work are notorius for melting after...

If this is one of the dual usb G3 iBooks (not a Clamshell iBook or G4 iBook), then I'm guessing you have the bad logic board problem that plagued these iBooks. There is, unfortunately, nothing you can do about it unless it still qualifies for the logic board replacement program. You can go to...

First, I would remove the RAM you put in. If you still have problems, then it looks like you should startup in single user mode and repair the hard drive from the command line. Startup while holding down COMMAND and S keys. Once you get to the dos-like prompt (#) type "fsck -fy" (without...

Here is what I ended up doing. On my G5, I installed Xcode Tools version 2.2 then did a make and install of Pine for OSX. After setting up Pine to send and receive mail, now I can just ssh to my G5 computer at home using my iBook while on the road and when I start Pine, I can check mail and...

For the cron under your personal account, you can simply say: $ crontab -e --> This will bring you into edit mode. You don't need to know the files location. To erase the cron file, just type --> $ crontab -r To list the current cron contents type --> $ crontab -l You can use Pico...

I would prefer leaving the messages on the mail server so when I get home I can open Apple Mail and get the messages I already read as well as any new ones. Does fetchmail have an option to leave them on the mail server? What about this suggestion. I install Pine on my G5 at home, run ssh...

If you liked the Axis and Allies boardgame from years ago, go to www.freeverse.com and download the trial version of SOLACE. It is a really fun game, though you do have to manage the battles. You can, however, just let the dice roll automatically and resolve the complete battle for you in...

All I want to do is get my mail securely while surfing the web at a public wifi access point. However, I am not allowed to set up a ssh tunnel to my ISP and get my mail securely. I can ssh to my Desktop G5 using my iBook, but when I "open Mail.app" the app opens on my remote G5 desktop only...

Does anyone know if it is possible to get an original Airport card into a Blue and White PowerMac G3? Does anyone sell a PCI adapter for the Apple Airport card or has anyone heard of another way to get one in there?

I'm looking for a wireless solution (not too expensive) which will work in a Blue and White G3 PowerMac (Rev A). It must have drivers that will work under OS 10.3.9 or better since I'm running that version of the Mac OS. Can anyone suggest a solution?

I just found a tutorial for SSH Tunnel Manager at http://www.stopdesign.com/log/2005/02/07/secure-email.html which explains everything you need to know for connecting your email to SSH. Check it out.

I don't have the firewalls on and it still happens to me. I just use the GO menu and type in the ip address and it sees it just fine after that. Don't know why the stupid Browse doesn't work though.

I found a program called SSH Tunnel Manager at http://projects.tynsoe.org/en/ but unfortunately, I have no idea what to put where in the GUI to handle my email. If anyone checks out this small program and can tell me what to put where for incoming and outgoing email, then please let me know...
